Champion Cloud Services Debuts Highly Flexible And Affordable “Cloud Continuity” Disaster Recovery Offering
Smarter, Virtualized Disaster Recovery Alternative Removes Many of the Conventional
Barriers to Solid DR Planning; Pay Only for Services You Need, At Time You Need Them

BOCA RATON, FL — (February 9^th, 2010) — Champion Cloud Services, a unit of IT services delivery provider Champion Solutions Group, today announced an innovative enterprise-class data recovery program that promises to remake the Disaster Recovery (DR) realm: “Cloud Continuity” DR services. Leveraging the groundbreaking benefits of cloud computing, Champion’s Cloud Continuity services allow enterprises—especially growing mid-market businesses—to utilize an on-demand DR capability that delivers exactly the amount of IT resources needed, at the very time they’re needed most.

“Champion Cloud Services has developed a DR solution that dramatically lowers the price/risk ratio for the modern enterprise,” said Chris Pyle, president and CEO of Champion Solutions Group. “Now you can ensure the continuity of your data stores—and your business—without having to invest in a mirror-image, offsite redundant data center. With our on-demand Cloud Continuity offering, the cloud provides everything as you need it.”

No Capital Outlays
Unlike traditional disaster recovery paradigms, Champion’s Cloud Continuity solution requires no expensive outlays for a Disaster Recovery infrastructure comprised of defined hardware and software. In the event of an anticipated emergency, the infrastructure is “turned on” and automatically synchronizes with the data for full application availability; afterward it is restored into the business’ onsite, primary infrastructure. Customers pay only for the resources used during the disaster incidence.

Because every customer’s Disaster Recovery requirements are different, Champion Cloud Services is able to set a customized monthly DR fee based on the customer’s Recovery Time Objective (minimum acceptable downtime) and Recovery Point Objective (age of restored files). This allows users to pay only for the necessary service level to keep the business running effectively. Champion’s Cloud Continuity services also range from self-service to fully managed, providing additional flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

Cloud Continuity Analysis
To help enterprises determine the best solution for their particular environment and business
requirements, Champion Cloud Services offers a free, three-step Cloud Continuity analysis. The procedure involves a cloud assessment, determination of cloud candidates, and a cloud sizing recommendation.

“Because this is a virtualized service, Champion Cloud Continuity is ideal for any enterprise, anywhere in the world,” stated Pyle. “Our 30-plus years of experience assisting hundreds of businesses, from banks and publishing houses to insurance companies and government agencies, enables us to understand and deliver on your precise, mission-critical needs.”
